1 Copyright Rights in Performances Publication Right Database Right UNOFFICIAL CONSOLIDATED TEXT OF UK LEGISLATION TO 3 May 2007 Crown Copyright material is reproduced with the permission of OPSI and the Queen's Printer for Scotland

2 2 Preface Status of this document This document is an unofficial consolidated text of the main UK legislation on copyright and related rights as amended up to 3 May (It does not include Statutory Instruments made under the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988.) It has been produced by the United Kingdom Intellectual Property Office but we cannot guarantee its accuracy and it has no legal authority. Only the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 as enacted and the other Acts of Parliament and Statutory Instruments amending it, or making provision on copyright and related rights separately from the Act, are authoritative. These can be found on the OPSI website at It would be helpful if anyone identifying errors or omissions in this unofficial consolidation could report them to copyrightenquiries@ipo.gov.uk so that we can make corrections where appropriate. Background to changes to the law A considerable number of changes have been made to the law in this area since the enactment of the Copyright, Designs & Patents Act Most of these have resulted from secondary legislation amending the 1988 Act in order to implement EC Directives in the field, namely: Directive 91/250/EEC on the legal protection of computer programs; Directive 92/100/EEC on rental right and lending right and on certain rights related to copyright in the field of intellectual property; Directive 93/83/EEC on the coordination of certain rules concerning copyright and rights related to copyright applicable to satellite broadcasting and cable retransmission; Directive 93/98/EEC harmonizing the term of protection of copyright and certain related rights; Directive 96/9/EC on the legal protection of databases; Directive 98/84/EC on the legal protection of services based on, or consisting of, conditional access; and Directive 2001/29/EC on the harmonisation of certain aspects of copyright and related rights in the information society. Other changes have arisen from the 2002 Copyright (Visually Impaired Persons) Act and Copyright, etc. and Trade Marks (Offences and Enforcement) Act, and from various legislation since 1988 in areas outside copyright. EC legislation has also led to the introduction of publication right and database right in UK law. Note on SI 2003/2498 and SI 2006/18 Footnotes in the text seek to indicate the source and nature of amendments to the law, and some other matters. It should be noted, however, that the footnotes do not cover all of the changes made by SI 2003/2498, implementing Directive 2001/29/EC and SI 2006/18 (The Performances (Moral Rights etc) Regulations SI 2003/2468 redefined the terms broadcast and broadcasting to embrace not only wireless transmissions to the public at large (as originally), but also wire transmissions of a similar kind. It also removed the concept of a cable programme

3 3 as a separate kind of copyright work, and replaced the restricted act of broadcasting or inclusion in a cable programme service by one of communication to the public by electronic transmission. These changes necessitated a considerable number of consequential amendments throughout the legislation, too numerous all to be indicated by footnotes. In many cases, previous references to broadcasts or cable programmes as species of copyright works have become references simply to broadcasts (as redefined), and references to the act of broadcasting or inclusion in a cable programme service have become references to communication to the public. However, this is not always so, and readers are advised to consult the legislation prior to SI 2003/2498 if they need to determine the precise position previously on provisions now referring to broadcasts, broadcasting or communication to the public.

(3) It is immaterial for the purposes of subsection (2) whether the work is recorded by or with the permission of the author; and where it is not recorded by the author, nothing in that subsection affects the question whether copyright subsists in the record as distinct from the work recorded. 3A 3 Databases (1) In this Part database means a collection of independent works, data or other materials which (a) are arranged in a systematic or methodical way, and (b) are individually accessible by electronic or other means.

(2) An encrypted transmission shall be regarded as capable of being lawfully received by members of the public only if decoding equipment has been made available to members of the public by or with the authority of the person making the transmission or the person providing the contents of the transmission.
